A LESSON WITH A MORAL


when WIN Our Eyes be Opened To this
Great National Calamity.
The year 1885 played sad havoc with
many prominent men Of our country.
Many OF them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full fiush
Others were sick but a. comparatively
short time. We turn to our files and are
astonished 10 find that most OF them died
OF appoplexy, Of paralysis. Of nervous
prostration, of malignant blood humor,
OF Brights disease Of heart disease, of
kidney disease, Of rheumatism or Of
pneumonia
IL Is singular that most OF our promi
nent men die Of these disorders. ANY
journalist who watches the telegraph re.
ports will be astonished at the number of
prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off SO many promi
ncnt men In 1886 are really one disease,
taking, different names according TO the
location of the fatal effects
When valuable horse pershes, il
becomes the nine days talk of the sport.
Ing world, and yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre.
gate loss is isenormous, and yet their death
creates no comment.
SO 1t is with individuals. The cause
OF death of prominent men creates com
ment especially when II can be shown
that one unsuspected disease carries of
most of them, and yet "vast numbers of
ordinary men and women die before
their time every year from the same
cause
1t Is said II the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration. pneumonia, rheu.
matism, and many cases of consumption.
would never be known. This uric acid,
we are told, Is the waste of the system,
and 1t is the duty of the kidneys to re.
move this waste
We are told that IL the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric.
kidney, acid is kept out of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, In large
measure, disappear.

to treat effects. II there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be.
lieve that Warmers safe cure of which so
much has been written, and so much
talked Of by the public generally, and
which can be obtained of dealers every.
where, is now recognized by impartial
physicians and the public as the one spe-
cifc for such diseases.
Because public attention has been di.
rected to this great remedy by means of
advertising, some persons have not be
lieved in the remedy. We cannot see
how Mr.. Warmers could Immediately
benefit the public In any other way. and
his valuable specific should not be con
demned because some nostrums have
come before the public in the same way
any more than that all doctors should be
condemned because so many Of them are
incompetent
1t Is astonishing what good opinions
edy. and public opinion thus based upoa
an actual experience. has all the weight
and importance of absolute truth.
AT this time of the year, the uric acid
in the blood invites pneumonia and rheu
matism, and there Is not man who does
not dread these monsters of disease: but
he need have no fear of them, we are told
If he rid the blood of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may
sound like an advertisement, and be re-.
jected as such by unthinking people, but
we believe they are the truth, and as
such should be spoken by every truth
loving newspaper.
